“First published in 1894 in Justice, Walter Crane’s The Workers’ Maypole declares ‘the cause of labour is the hope of the world’. Born in Liverpool in 1845, Walter Crane was a prolific illustrator associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, and his creations are some of the most enduring visual imaginings of the British socialist movement. The Workers’ Maypole calls for ‘solidarity’ and ‘humanity’, ‘employers’ liability’, ‘eight hours’ and ‘no starving children’. In the centre of the scene Crane’s beflowered May queen welcomes the toilers of the world and carries their banners high. Powerful yet whimsical, The Workers Maypole brings together English folk tradition and the demands of the international labour movement.” (x)

chapter 11: The Ratanapakorn family comes clean.
Isn’t this all there is to it, after all? He’s witnessing Vegas’s world. This is what Vegas was shielding from him. It’s something Pete would’ve never understood in a million years, had he not lived through its terror.

☀️ summary:
Pete has long left Thailand. He is now living the American dream, working long hours to make his rich clients richer and himself more miserable than ever.
But when his best friend Porsche invites him to his destination wedding to the mysterious Kinn, Pete finds himself suddenly thrown into the world of the Theerapanyakul family, the silent machinations underpinning their wealth, and Kinn’s cousin Vegas—who, for reasons unknown, has made it his mission to tear down every assumption Pete holds about his life.

Here lies the field that was laid to our hand
Up! Gwythyr. Up for our meeting!
Who knows how near doth the judgment stand
Up! Gwythyr. I give you greeting.
Deep in the mould lie the golden helmed all
No spectre of them will answer my call
Surely the shadows will creep from their hall.
Up! Gwythyr. May night is fleeting.
